Epoxy choice for transom holes

[saltyfish]

I have 8-10 smallish transducer screw holes to fill in the transom of my 21SE.

Will drill out slightly, clean with acetone, fill with epoxy.

Loctite marine epoxy from Lowes or Home Depot ok, or do I need a product from West Marine?

Doesn't seem like the blushing versus non-blushing epoxy matters for this application.

Thanks Gentlemen.

It doesn't.....Use a countersink and hit those holes too....before you fill them..

Thanks Warthog.

Go to the Dollar Tree and get a turkey injector, which is just a big syringe with a large bore metal needle, fill it with the epoxy of choice, and fill holes from the inside out, avoiding trapped air pockets.
Get several while you are there, they are handy for a number of things.

Syringe approach sounds right. Was planning to use 18 gauge needles on a 10 ml syringe and cover drill hole with blue painters tape - and poke the needle through the tape.

Turkey syringe sounds good, too.

Thanks fellas.

18 g needle might be too small. I would wet out the holes first before filling.
